I concede defeat, Editrix. That was the best takedown ever, and it took me three minutes to realize what you were talking about. Holy crap. I concede defeat, Editrix.

There. I've said it. Also: So Rog, do you spill the whole bag of circus peanuts out on the table, and then lean your head over and pick them up with your teeth so you don't have to touch them? But see - that's the point! You're eating them like an elephant would eat peanuts! Of course, if you were really an elephant, you'd snork them up with your nose and then put them in your mouth - which is probably even more squick-making than just touching the damned things already. All this food talk: be forewarned - if I ever find out I have an invariably fatal disease and I'm gonna die in like six months, I will balloon to 400 pounds like that in losing all restraint of appetite. Perhaps I will dye my hair jet-black and sport rhinestone-encrusted white jumpsuits as well. I like Boston Baked Beans. There. I’ve said it.

We've gotta stop them somehow! Actually, Ezra, I believe your theory is the first instance where this <a href="http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/WAspad/UnTexteDeJorf?numjo=CTNX0508288K" rel="nofollow">bloc</a>'s title has had any shred of relevance to the content.

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley ) If something seems purely artificial, it doesn't seem creepy. But if it has the springy consistency of, say, human flesh, it might be kinda creepy to eat. Maybe it’s also related to the whole Uncanny Valley theory in robotics.

What's next, the Citgo sign? E &#38; F (no Hutton): Full disclosure? I omitted Almond's ragging on Green Life Savers, as I don't get why they're any less-naturally flavored than the other colors; I apologize for my bias. Maybe Circus Peanuts are one of those polarizing love-or-loathe kinds of things, like Tori Amos. E: Yeah, bummer that the Necco tower as I loved is no more. What’s next, the Citgo sign?

The taste is okay, but the texture makes me cringe. I get creeped out even touching them. I have an odd relationship with circus peanuts. The taste is okay, but the texture makes me cringe.

It's gone. Painted grey, with a Novartis logo. I actually love circus peanuts. I do agree that they shouldn't imitate the shape of something else, though. They are much better than anything nature could have churned out. Have you seen the Necco tower lately? It’s gone. Painted grey, with a Novartis logo.
